The open sky high above the Theodoros Vardinogiannis" Stadium is blanketed in colorful hues of blue, orange, pink and yellows as day gives way to dusk and the crowd in the stands of the Stadium as well as the many rows of seats surrounding the six-sided ring in the center of the field. The SCW Universe in Corfu welcome the Superstars and Bombshells with open arms, holding signs for their favorites! The camera does a complete sweep around the entirety of the Theodoros Vardinogiannis" Stadium before focusing in on the SCW ring where ring announcer Justin Decent stands with a glowing smile on his face.
Justin: Hello everyone, and WELCOME to the 2022 Greece Lightning Tour in Crete, Greece! And on behalf of Sin City Wrestling - HAPPY EASTER!!!
The crowd cheers its collective approval, many fans wearing colorful colors befitting the holiday!
Justin: Now please help me welcome to the stage, the Grand Hostess With the Mostess of Sin City Wrestling -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The saxophone plays in the darkness, the music of the hit "Careless Whisper". The spotlight opens onto Amanda Hugginkiss, dressed in a Playboy Bunny outfit with black high heels, "playing" the sax. The performance begins!
Amanda: I woke Easter morn
And I was so mad
To find out that I was scorned
No huge chocolate prize
Colored eggs to hide
Was denied those tasty sweets
Did the rabbit die?!
This Easter is a sham, Oh man!
There's no treats or even baskets
Where's my candy? I was scammed
This rodent isn't cool
I can't be a beggar but this season's plans
To taste some PEZ and munch on sugar
Have been ruined cause there's no free snacks
And now I'm feeling screwed
Oh no...
I
Don't recommend
A Hareless Easter
We'll tie these loose ends
Peeps were not supplied
So he fried my mind
I've got a killer sweet tooth
This bunny I must find!
I'm going to hunt this damn rabbit
Lucky feet won't keep him livin'
It's not easy to forget
When it's your job, You fool!
He'd better be clever to dodge my bullets
His rabbit hole is blown to Heaven!
So I'm gonna blast this damn rabbit!
Unless he gives me food!
Oh!
(Sugar is what I want!)
He seemed to piss off the whole crowd
Torches and pitchforks are pulled out
Maybe we're going insane
Shouldn't this be Jesus Christ's special day?
It seems we all want to eat Twizzlers
We're ready to pull the trigger
Are we really going to blast bunnies?
Yes way!
Cause we're gonna hunt this damn rabbit!
We're all sick of this bland Easter!
With no gum we take offense
We really lost our cool
Like Looney Tunes Elmer Fudd we're getting tense
And in a trance to "Kill the Wabbit"
So we're finding Peter Cottontail
To get our gummy worms!
Some have swords drawn
Fight with pure brawn!
This Easter dawn
We've come in throngs
Milk Duds have turned us all into drones!
The crowd laughs and applauds as Amanda runs about the stage, tossing Easter candy out to the fans as the camera switches over to the ringside area and the broadcasters table. Belinda Simone and Jason Adams both sit there and are dressed quite nicely, befitting the Easter holiday. Right up to Jason wearing a pair of bunny ears on his scalp.
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Sin City Wrestling Climax Control, right here in Crete, Greece, on this, Easter Sunday!
Adams: HOPPY EASTER!
Jason leans over to stage whisper.
Adams: Did you get it? I said 'Hoppy' instead of...?
Simone: I get it, I get it! Fans, tonight the official Road to Into the Void XI begins as we continue determining the challengers for that historic event in Athens! More matches will be announced and tonight, we have eight matches for you!
Adams: And it starts when we determine who is going to challenge Diamond Steele for the Roulette title when Ms. Jon, Kat Jones and Bella Madison take one another on in a Triple Threat match! Winner goes on to Athens to face the champ!
Simone: Then last week we saw an altercation between Tempest and Candy over a simple misunderstanding that saw Tempest put Candy through a table. Match makers worked fast to get this one signed and it'll be Candy against Tempest to hopefully settle things between the two.
Adams: Then we have what's going to be the match of the night! One of the most successful men in SCU, Hitamashii, returns to SCW to face one of the most successful men in SCW, Ben Jordan! Both of these men held a bunch of titles in their home feds so this will really be a show stealer!
Simone: Then it's a non-title match as the higher ups have convinced Chloe Benton to show up here tonight in Crete rather than face legal consequences. Her reason for her hesitation? The fact that the reigning Internet Champion Masque is her scheduled opponent!
Adams: Senor Vinnie has been on a comedic tear since he came back to active duty! Now he's got to try and keep that going and to do so, he has to get through Alexander Raven!
Simone: Then we have the highly unpredictable Roulette Champion Finn Whelan in a non-title match as he prepares to go up against another man who not only has held that very title at one point, but also the World singles and Mixed tag team titles in one, Alex Jones!
Adams: Mikah is off on vacation somewhere and has all but spit in the face of the SCW and her rights to a World title match! So the bosses have taken four of the best and we have a Fatal Fourway to decide who will challenge Roxi Johnson in Athens for the gold! Mercedes Vargas! Krystal Wolfe! Myra Rivers! And Sammi Marlowe! You know how it works! First Bombshell to win gets to face Roxi!
Simone: And in tonight's Crete Main Event! "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart may have had his five plus month reign as Roulette Champion ended by Finn Whelan, but tonight he has another chance to add gold to his resume as he challenges the brand new Internet Champion Jack Washington for the title! All this and more on this special Easter edition of Climax Control!
LIVE! May 15, 2022! From the Ano Liosia Olympic Sports Hall in Athens, Greece!
It's...
Rocky Mountains is seen by the roulette wheel as Kat and Bella are standing with her. Ms Jon joins the three and then Rocky spins the wheel as the three bombshells glare at each other.
Adams: This spin will decide what match these three will be in to open the night.
Simone: It is slowing down and the match tonight will be settled by a
The wheel stops and reveals that the match will be a labyrinth match. Ms Jon glares as Kat and Bella move out of the camera's view that switches back to ringside.
Adams: A labyrinth match Belinda...what a concept...or rather, what is the concept?
Simone: The idea for this match comes from mythology here in Crete. Below the palace at Knossos was the Labyrinth built by Daedalus to contain the Minotaur. So they have created a labyrinth backstage for this match. Each bombshell chooses a thread to follow and they all lead to a ring in the center of the maze. The winner is the one that pins or submits her opponent in the ring.
The camera view switches to Jasmine St John standing in the ring in the maze before flipping to the three bombshells who each grab a rope that leads to a door.
Simone: Hello and welcome to the opening match of Climax Control which is the triple threat match for the Bombshell Roulette contendership Let's go to Justin for the introductions.
Justin brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for the Bombshell Roulette contendership...Introducing first...
Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads. The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella by her door.
Justin: From New York, she is Bella Madison.
Adams: This match is looking to be a match between three equally talented bombshells.
Simone: I agree Jason but which one will be the winner when this is done?
The peaceful tones of "The Day the World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails engulfs the arena as Ms. Jon stands near her door while Martin Howe III screams instructions from ringside.
Justin: And her opponent...MS Jon!
Simone: Here comes the monster Ms Jon!
"Release me" The two words from the Public Address system in the arena cause the fans in attendance, already on their feet, to react with disdain and unappreciative shouts. The cameraview reveals a smirking Kat Jones at her door.
Justin: The final competitor...Kat Jones!
Adams:All these bombshells looking very confident about this match.
The announcer leaves the cameraview as the bell rings with all the
DING DING DING!
The bell ringing also signals the doors opening as a triple view shows each of the bombshells entering the maze. Kat Jones makes her way inside and along the maze path that is guided by a glow in the dark purple rope. She moves slowly as her view follows the rope. Bella gets into her maze path with a red glowing rope. She moves quicker by using the ropes to get closer to the center of the maze. Ms Jon doesn't even bother to grab the rope and just lumbers along the path looking down at the sickly green glow in the dark rope. Suddenly all three women encounter each other in a corner part of the maze and Ms Jon charges taking both women off their feet with a thunderous clothesline then raises her arms in a bellow of challenge. Bella and Kat get to their feet slowly and then sharing a look, they both use a dropkick on the turning Jon sending her through a maze wall where she gets tangled up in the material. Kat then turns on Bella and lays her out with a standing dropkick that drops Madison who brings a hand up to lips checking for blood. Kat uses the time to charge through following her rope.
Adams: Wow, who knew that the maze paths will cross each other.
Bella rises quickly and begins to follow her own rope once more as Jon fights out of the cloth. She gets to her feet and then charges following her green rope . Kat is beginning to slow as she can hear the footsteps of Bella and the stomps of Jon. Kat stops when she hears the pair encounter each other again. The two begin to fight at another crosspath. Kat stays back as Jon picks up Bella and hits a body slam on the hard concrete that makes Madison arch in pain. Jon drops to make the pinfall but the voice of Jasmine can be heard through out the maze telling her that is not allowed. Jon gets to her feet as Bella rolls to her side coughing and gasping for breath. Kat can be seen slipping into the crosspath and edging around both of her opponent but Jon turns to viciously grin at her. Kat freezes as Jon grabs a handful of hair and pulls her back into the middle of this crosspath. Picking up Jones, Jon locks on a bear hug that is making Kat scream in pain. Jon grins as she ragdolls the brunette. Bella crawls towards her path slowly rising to her feet and then rushes out of the area as Jon tosses Kat to the side then charges towards Bella's path only to be turned away by masked men who shake their heads negatively. Jon threatens them but they stand their ground and point to her path. She growls but turns and disappears down her path. Kat lays on the floor near her door but doesn't enter the maze yet.
Simone: Very smart of Kat to rest and recover. If it was me, I would wait til Bella and Jon beat each other down enough.
Jon can hear footsteps nearby and with a sneering grin, she moves faster into the maze. Bella looks around as she makes it to the crosspath. Seeing no one there, she immediately moves to her maze path and avoids a fight. A sudden movement can be seen as one of the guards walks into view holding a wooden shield. A bellowing Jon moves into view and glares at the guard who walks closer. Ignoring her, she turns towards Bella's exit to wait for Madison to appear. Not paying attention, Jon doesn't see the masked guard raise the shield and bring it down on the back of her head that sends her to her knees. Reaching up, the guard removes the mask to reveal Mercedes Vargas who once more attacks Jon with the wooden shield across the back. Jon stumbles forward trying to escape Mercedes but Vargas doesn't let her get too far before once more dropping the shield on her back. Arching in pain, Jon bellows angrily and charges at Mercedes who she tackles through the maze wall. The two women continue to fight as Kat walks into the crosspath then seeing the two of them, she rushes through onward.
Adams: Does Mercedes Vargas have a deathwish? Attacking Ms Jon like that?
Simone: I don't know Jason but looking at the way those two are battling, I think this contender's match just became one between Bella Madison and Kat Jones.
Bella exits the maze in the center to see the ring with Jasmine St John standing in it. Looking at the ring she rushes towards it and slides under the bottom rope. With Bella in the ring, Jasmine can be heard to begin her ten count. A commotion can be heard over the speakers as Mercedes and Jon fight along the sound table. At eight, Kat Jones appears from her path and then charges the ring managing to beat the ten count with a frantic dive into the ring. Bella doesn't let her rise as she drops a knee on the lower back of a slowly rising Kat that drops her to the mat and drives the air from her lungs. Quickly, Bella rolls Kat over and pins her shoulders to the mat. Kat forces her arm upward to prevent the pin which angers Madison who slams her hands on the canvas as Kat rolls away. Getting to her feet, Bella turns to find Kat also on her feet. The two bombshells charge each other and take each other off their feet with a double clothesline.
Simone: Both women down Jason and now we know that it is between Bella and Kat and if you ask me, it is going to be the first one to make a mistake that will lose the match. Either that or one of these two will have one lucky break.
Kat is slow to get up as Bella rolls to the corner then pulls herself to the second turnbuckle and springs at Kat with a dropkick. Jones rolls towards the opposite corner where she lays back on the bottom rope. Bella charges across the ring and attempts a low dropkick but Kat avoids it. Bella flies through the ropes and to the floor where she rolls to her feet. Sliding back into the ring, she is caught by Kat who attempts a Fujiwara armbar but Madison is too near the ropes and is able to force the break. Jasmine motions for Kat to release Bella who clutches her arm against her chest as she fights her way to her feet using the ropes. Kat stands and watches as Bella tries to shake the feeling back into her arm. Kat moves towards Bella and is almost knocked out by a yakuza kick that Jones avoids and that ties Bella's leg slightly. Kat grabs the hair of Bella as she brings her leg off the ropes. Dropping Bella with a hairpull, Kat is quick to roll her over and then locks in the Wildkat submission hold that has Bella reaching out and managing to just catch the ropes. Jasmine forces the break and Jones drops Madison who is holding her back in pain. Kat reaches down and drags Bella back into the middle of the ring and locks on the Wildkat again. A battered and bloody Ms. Jon breaks into the middle of the maze just as Bella taps out and Jasmine motions for the bell.
Simone: Oh my god, what a match we just saw Jason, sets a high bar for the rest of the night doesn't it?
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, and new Bombshell Roulette contender, Kat Jones!
Adams: What a different concept for a roulette match. And what a helluva fight Belinda!
Simone: Congratulations to Kat Jones, the new Bombshell Roulette contender.
Kat celebrates in the middle of the ring as Bella makes her way back out of the center of the maze and Jon is prevented from charging to the ring by guards.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Mac Bane (c) vs Matthew "the Raven" Knox
We are ringside, waiting for the next match when suddenly Unsainted hits and Goth walks out to the entrance ramp. Goth is dressed in a sharp Armani suit and his hair tied up in a tail. He has a microphone in his hand as he waits for the crowd to cool down before starting to speak.
Goth: The past seven days have been interesting, interesting because I got a up and close look upon a man that I may be facing for the Internet championship belt in a few weeks IF he succeeds in beating Bill Barnhart tonight
He stops as he lets the words sink in to the fans as he stares into the camera and has a sadistic smile
Goth: Now I have understood that my words somehow hit a nerve with the current champion, he felt that he was the talk of the town..... but not in the fashion that obviously likes to have. People questioned him, people questioned his mindset and his integrity after losing to a bum like Vinnie. And I can understand that people don't like to be put under a microscope like that. I guess the man believes that wrong for us to do so....
The crowd boos as Goth nods his head to every single word that he just uttered.
Goth: So I looked back at my own words, wondering if I had said something that went too far.... And I came to the conclusion that Jack is just a little whining.....
Goth looks around, notices some young kids and shakes his head smiling
Goth: I obviously meant to say that he is a rather large disappointment, a disappointment that is clearly incapable of monitoring time, can't hold up his liquor. A man that celebrated his title victory by beating two other men, something that I will applaud... because I know from experience how hard it is to beat multiple men to secure a title win. But then I got to wonder, how much did you drink Jack???
Simone: Oh boy, this is going to be personal
Goth: Now I have to admit, I have had a history of alcohol abuse when everything seemed to have gone to hell. But still having a hangover WEEKS after your victory sounds very unlikely doesn't it??? And then to tell the world that he underestimated a bum like Vinnie..., oh I understand Jack. Every superstar makes a mistake...., every superstar has a booboo. But to hide behind excuses like these???
He shakes his head, clearly disappointed in the man that he could be facing at the next Super Card
Goth: Is that the excuse you came up with after a week of radio silence Jack?? What's wrong champ?? I thought you were a verbal vocabulary... never too shy to come up with a comeback and put people in their place... And now?? I guess you really believed that everything in life will be handed to you on a silver platter doesn't it Jack?? I just hope that IF you beat Bill tonight, that you will be getting your mind out of your own ass and focus upon the man that will be facing THE Internet Championship in a couple of weeks!!! Because I expect a professional, I expect someone that is willing to do whatever it takes to hold on to that belt... Because I am going to do even more to take it away from WHOMEVER it is that holds that belt..... I just hope that when it is you, that I will not be hearing anymore excuses.... Because if that's the case my friend..., then I will make sure that you will crawl back to Washington in shame with that tail tucked between your legs....Got that champ???
He winks at the camera smiling
Goth: See you in a few weeks champ....
Justin: The following Bombshells contest is scheduled for one fall...
The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up. Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy. She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more.
Justin: Introducing first, from Malibu Beach, California.... CANDY!
Adams: Here we go with some Bombshells action and Candy really hasn't had it fun lately. She got as far as the semis in the Blast from the Past tournament, but Alicia Lukas got her revenge so to speak on her and now she's got to deal with Tempest...
Simone: Candy really needs to prove that her run in the tournament wasn't a fluke, but that's not looking good right now. And when you've got to deal with Tempest, who has been on a bit of a roll lately, then things definitely don't look good.
The heavy beat of Halestorm's "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" kicks up over the sound system and the heads of the SCW Universe turns towards the entrance as the Bombshell amazon Tempest walks out onto the stage.
Justin: Coming to the ring! From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds -- Tempest!
The fans are in awe at the size of Tempest as she wastes no time in power walking straight to the ring, her eyes never straying from her destination and paying no mind to the fans reaching out toward her. A perpetual frown on her face, she arrives at the ringside area where she climbs up onto the ring apron and straight inside of the ring. Tempest stands in the center of the ring, her arms held out and turns full circle before moving to her corner.
Adams: Tempest is ready to go and needless to say, she's been on fire lately. Ms. Jon couldn't topple her and it's hard to imagine Candy doing so...
Simone: Stranger things have happened though! Remember, Tempest was a mixed tag team champion and it WAS Mercedes Vargas that title was lost to. But, Tempest for sure is the heavy favorite.
DING DING DING!
Tempest runs at Candy and tries a clothesline, but Candy ducks under it. Tempest turns around and Candy gives her a dropkick in the knee that drops Tempest down to a knee. Candy is quick to come back with an enziguri that knocks Tempest down. Tempest is able to get up quickly, but Candy nails her with a roundhouse kick to the gut before knocking her down with a running cross body. Candy climbs to the top. Tempest is quick to get up. Candy dives and hits her with a diving cross body this time that takes Tempest down into the mat. This time, Candy manages to stay on her, pinning her shoulders for the cover...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Candy gets up and she goes to the top rope again. Tempest is able to stand up. Candy leaps and goes for a senton, but Tempest is able to catch her in midair. She quickly gives her a powerbomb that lays her out. Tempest is angry as she drags Candy back up to a vertical base. She picks her up and then she decks her with a vertical suplex. Candy holds her back as she gets dragged up by the hair. Tempest picks her up and gives her a Samoan drop. Candy is looking like she got the wind knocked out of her as Tempest hooks the legs for a pinfall attempt....
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Candy had some early momentum for a bit, but as it stands right now, this match is going as we expected so far.
Simone: I think Candy make have made Tempest mad with that early flurry and now she's looking to pick her apart.
Tempest gets a bit mad as she gets up and drags Candy back to a vertical base. She picks her up and she applies a bearhug. Candy struggles with this for a bit while it's locked in, then Tempest shakes her around for a bit before throwing her hard down into the mat. Candy is looking like she's quickly losing steam as she gets back to a vertical base. Tempest grabs her by the hair and headbutts her back into the corner. She steps back and nails Candy with a running corner splash. Candy groggily stumbles out of the corner then Tempest picks her up and nails her with a scoop slam! Tempest stays on her again for the cover...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Tempest isn't thrilled and she stands up and connects with a leg drop, making things even more uncomfortable for Candy who rolls away from her. Tempest kicks her around for a bit before she picks her up and places her on the top rope. Tempest climbs to the first rope and she's able to drop Candy with a suplex from the first rope. Candy crash lands on the mat and she winces in some pain. She stands back up and then Tempest comes back and nails her with a spinning back elbow to the head, causing Candy to drop down to a knee. Tempest smirks as she goes to grab her by the hair. Before she can do anything else however, Candy manages to roll up Tempest with a surprise inside cradle...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Tempest was in cruise control, dominating for a while. But Candy out of nowhere nearly caught her with that inside cradle.
Simone: That brief break may be just what she needs to start pulling herself back into this match.
Candy slowly gets up and she sees that Tempest is rolled over to her side. Candy is quick to nail her with a running dropkick to get her back down to the mat. She takes a moment to gather her breath and get back to the top rope. Tempest is standing up. Candy then makes the decision to leap off the top rope and nail Tempest with a missile dropkick. Tempest stumbles back into the ropes and comes back in Candy's direction. She stumbles to a knee which then allows Candy to come back and nail her with a roundhouse kick right to the side of the head. Tempest dramatically falls down to the mat and then Candy drops to her knees, turning Tempest over and covering...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Candy gets up and then she waits for Tempest to do the same. Tempest stands up and Candy goes for another roundhouse kick, but Tempest catches her leg. Candy panics for a bit when Tempest grabs her other leg then uses that leverage to pick her up and spinebuster her right into the mat. Tempest has an angry look on her face at this point. She stands up and takes a deep breath, then picks up Candy. She gets her up, hoists her up and then drops her into the mat with a military press. Candy barely moves as soon as she hits the mat. Tempest then follows up with a running body splash, then turns Candy over to cover her...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Tempest is having far too much fun toying with Candy, I think. This is not looking good at all.
Simone: Still, knowing Candy's history, all it takes is ONE break for Candy to get back into this match.
Tempest gets up and then drags Candy up by the hair. She picks her up and gives her an Alabama slam near the center of the ring to keep her down. Candy winces in pain as she holds her lower back. She slowly gets back to a vertical base. Tempest nails her with a spinning backfist causing Candy to stumble backward into the corner. Tempest then runs up to her and gives her a shoulder block into the corner to knock the wind out of her some more. Candy stumbles out of the corner and then Tempest follows up with a flapjack that causes Candy to land right on her tailbone. Still, Candy is able to stand up. Tempest nails her with a running big boot and then she drops down and covers her again...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Tempest then decides to really take things to the next level when she decides to go to the top rope herself. The fans rise to their feet, some with shock others with fear. Tempest dives off the top rope but Candy rolls out of the way much to the relief of the fans. Candy slowly gets up. She steps through the ropes and readies herself while Tempest slowly gets back to a vertical base. Candy is able to springboard herself into a senton that takes Tempest right back down to the mat. She then stays on her and punches the daylights out of her unleashing some fury as the crowd gets behind her. She stands up. Tempest is able to get herself back to a knee while Candy runs right at her and knocks her down with a running enziguri right in the face. Candy pounces on her and covers...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Candy nearly got her there and you have to wonder if it was a mistake for Tempest to go to the top rope. She really wanted to crush Candy there, but she may have gotten overzealous.
Simone: This is the break that Candy needed to get back into the swing of things. She's got to stay on her, there is no doubt about that.
Candy looks a bit shocked, but she is able to stand up. Tempest gets to a knee and then Candy knees her to stun her. She runs to the ropes, bounces off of them, then comes back to Tempest and takes her down with a DDT. Tempest goes down, but Candy is nowhere near done with her yet. She grabs her, then is able to drag her up a bit before she runs off of the ropes and nails her with a springboard tornado DDT. Tempest doesn't move right away, apparently out of it at this point. Candy pounces on her again and fires off some more punches before Tempest shoves her off. Candy isn't fazed though and she makes a quick run to the corner to get to the top rope. Tempest slowly gets up and then Candy leaps off the top and nails her with a moonsault that drags her back into the mat for a cover...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Candy gets up and she steps back. She patiently waits for Tempest to get in position. Tempest gets to her knees and then Candy goes for the Death by Chocolate. However, Tempest blocks the kick and shoves Candy back into the ropes. Candy bounces off the ropes and suffers a faceplant right into the mat. Tempest gets up and now she's really angry. She drags Candy back up to a vertical base and then drags her to the center of the ring. She lifts her up and hoists her on her shoulders before letting her go and dropping her with a fireman's carry stunner. Following that, the angry Tempest drags Candy back up, then hoists her up and nearly flattens her with the Amazon Prime.
Adams: THERE IT IS! Amazon Prime!
Simone: Forget it... it's over...
Tempest makes the academic cover...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of this match... TEMPEST!
Adams: Candy had a great comeback going toward the end, but ultimately Tempest still pulled out the victory. Once that fireman's carry stunner hit, it was academic from there.
Simone: And once again, we see yet another episode of "Candy Crushed". Tempest was just too strong for her.
Tempest doesn't celebrate as she looks back and sees the referee tending to the laid out Candy. She exits the ring and heads back up the ramp...
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
Jack Washington (c) vs Goth
The scene opens backstage where we see Greek-American Bombshell and Go Gym Graduate Ariana Angelos walking through the hallways snacking on some circular bread.
Ariana: It's been too long since I've had Koulouri Thessaloniki the traditional way!
Ariana comments to herself and Pussy Willow, who was walking nearby, perks up.
Pussy: Since you had what now?
Ariana: Oh, it's a Greek Street Food Staple, I can NEVER find it stateside so to find a street food vender here in Crete that sells it was just perfect!
Pussy: Looks like circular bread to me.
Ariana: That's basically what it is, it's our take on a similar dish from Turkey, want to try some?
Ariana offers and Pussy shrugs before trying a bite.
Pussy: Wow, that's actually really good! Where did you find that vender?
Ariana: Literally just down the road from the arena, don't worry, he speaks English, there's no language barrier there.
Krystal: It also comes recommended by my wife because she loves the stuff.
The two women look up and see Krystal waiting for Ari and Ari grins sheepishly.
Ariana: I know I was meant to meet up with you for your match tonight Krystal but when I saw that vender.......
Krystal: You just had to drop everything! I suppose you were lucky that you're not in action tonight! Though granted you haven't wrestled in an SCW ring since that showcase match in Corfu.
Ariana: Hoping that changes next week but tonight? I'm here to cheer you on as a fellow Go Gym Graduate! I even have my own cheer for you!
Krystal and Pussy: You do?!
It's at this point that Ari sets her snack aside and grabs a pair of pom-poms from off screen.
Ariana: KRYSTAL! KRYSTAL! SHE'S OUR GIRL! IF SHE CAN'T WIN TONIGHT, NO ONE.........WILL.......
Krystal: You literally threw that together at the last minute, didn't you?
Ariana: Pretty much! I literally brought the pom poms the moment we got back from the Knossos Palace Ruins!
Krystal: They were selling those things in Greece?
Ariana: Amazon.
Krystal nods as she gets the idea.
Krystal: In any case, I appreciate it! And let's face it, I need all the help I can get against Sam, Myra and Mercedes.
Ariana: Couldn't agree more! Let's at least talk strategy! Off camera of course!
Krystal nods and the two Go Gym Graduates walk off.
Pussy: Ari, you forgot your street food!
Ariana rushes back on camera and grabs the street food as the scene fades.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish!
The opening riffs of Fire In Our House by Astral Doors hits the speakers and Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu comes out to the stage, looking smug. He stands there as the crowd gives him boos. Hitamashii walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. He looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them.
Justin: Introducing first! From Himeji, Japan! Weighing one hundred and ninety two pounds! Welcome back to Sin City Wrestling -- Hitamashii!!
Hitamashii lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Hitamashii climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him.
Simone: Hitamashii has finally returned to SCW after a lengthy and might I say, very successful stint in SCU!
Adams: I'll say! Multiple runs as the top champion in SCU, the Underground Champion? Hitamashii really came into his own!
Simone: And now we're going to see how well that newfound success carries on 'back home'!
Justin: And his opponent...!
The opening guitar riff to "Blame it on the Boom Boom" by Black Stone Cherry starts to play. The riff repeats itself once more. A British flag appears on the screen, waving with a gray filter and the lyrics kick in.
The familiar face of Ben Jordan appears on the screen. The fans instantly burst in to cheers as a smiling Ben Jordan appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a white shorts with matching knee pads and boots. Ben looks around the crowd, his trademark smile on his face. He turns his head to the left, winking at the crowd before slowly walking down the ramp. He moves to the left, running his hand along the fans, high fiving as many as possible, before moving to the right and doing the same. Ben stops in front of a fan with a phone and moves next to them, allowing them to take a selfie with the smiling Englishman.
Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From London, England, weighing 220 pounds -- Ben Jordan!
He stands outside the ring, looking up at ring, before moving to the steps and jumping up them. He ducks down and in to the ring through the middle and top rope and spins in to the corner, climbing on the top rope and raising his hands. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring, looking at his opponent.
Simone: Successful as Hitamashii was in SCU, Ben Jordan has been equally as successful in SCW!
Adams: World Heavyweight! World Tag Team! Roulette! And technically, he WAS the Underground Champion too!
Simone: Which makes this match even more appealing for the SCW Universe! It's a battle of the former Underground Champions and two of the best both promotions offer!
Referee Jacob Summers finishes checking Ben who nods to the official. Jacob then steps back and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Both men come from out of their corners and begin circling the ring, sizing one another up!
Simone: Hitamashii comes into this one with a distinct size disadvantage but he has always known how to utilize that to his advantage.
Finally Ben and Hitamashii pause and Ben extends a hand in good sportsmanship to welcome his opponent back to SCW -- and Hitamashii surprisingly accepts. The two then lock up in the center of the ring and straight away, Ben sends Hitamashii sliding across the ring with an arm drag. Hitamashii stands up, staring at ben who smiles good naturedly and shrugs his beefy shoulders. They circle once again, and again the two multi-time champions lock up and again Ben takes advantage, shifting his body and throwing Hitamashii over with a hip toss.
Simone: Ben certainly is utilizing his strength and technical skill early on in this match.
Adams: And Hitamashii is taking it all in stride.
Ben smiles and steps forward, offering his hand once again and Hitamashii extends his own to accept -- right before he BITCH SLAPS Ben right across the face! The crowd BOOS!!!
Adams: THERTE'S the Hitamashii we know from SCU!
Hitamashii holds his arms out as if silently asking "What?" or daring Ben to step up as Ben stares blank faced, rubbing his stinging jaw. Ben then turns his head to Hitamashii and has an uncharacteristic scowl on his face...
Adams: Oo! Ben Jordan is the nicest guy around but Hitamashii forgot about that Cockney temper!
And Ben goes right after his opponent and Hitamashii quickly ducks behind Jacob, using the official as a human shield! The crowd boos the cowardly heel tactic as Ben tries to get at him with Jacob attempting to keep the Cockney King back! Finally Hitamashii ducks out and rolls to the outside, taunting Ben from the safety of the ringside floor! Ben tries to go out after him but Jacob successfully intervenes to keep him on the inside, and the official begins his count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Hitamashii finally climbs up onto the apron and steps back through the ropes, but the moment Ben tries to go after him, Hitamashii ducks through the ropes, preventing him from doing so! More boos from the crowd as Ben gets visibly irritated!
Simone: Hitamashii has certainly grown during his foray in SCU. The mind games he's playing with Ben Jordan are certainly working.
Adams: Yes but mind games only go so far. Sooner or later he's going to have to actually wrestle.
Ben backs off at Jacob's request and Hitamashii steps back in. He and Ben circle once again and go for the lock up, but just before Ben gets hold of him, Hitamashii ducks right back through the ropes to avid him!
Simone: Oh come ON!
But this time Ben has had enough as he brushes past Jacob and he grabs Hitamashii and flips him over, causing him to become entangled in the ropes in an upside down position! The crowd cheers and laughs as Jacob tries to untangle his legs from the ropes that are tightly woven around his thighs and ankles! Ben, meanwhile, places a boot on the back of the struggling Hitamashii and strikes a double bicep pose for the amusement of the fans and they cheer him on!
Adams: That's the Cockney King! He certainly knows how to work the crowd!
Jacob FINALLY frees Hitamashii and the hot headed and embarrassed grappler jumps up and shoves Ben back! Hitamashii then rushes him but Ben takes him to the mat face-first with a double-leg take down! Ben then jumps over him with an Oklahoma roll, pinning him shoulders to the mat with Hitamashii's legs kicking wildly!
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out!
Hitamashii springs up and swings a back handed fist but Ben counters with a backs slide into another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out!
No sooner does Hitamashii start to rise than Ben leaps over him with a sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out AGAIN!
Ben rises to his feet and Hitamashii slides out of the ring and kicks the barricade in clear frustration! But this time Ben wastes no time in gliding right past the official and ducking through the ropes and to the outside! Hitamashii sees this and he takes off as Ben gives chase around the ringside area! Hitamashii slides into the ring with the Cockney King right on his heels! Ben stands and straight away, Hitamashii doubles him over with a spin kick to the midsection!
Simone: Hitamashii lured him right in for that one.
Hitamashii comes racing off the ropes on the far side of the ring for a second kick but this time Ben catches him around the leg and he throws the smaller wrestler over with an Exploder suplex! Hitamashii ATTEMPTS to roll back outside but this time Ben grabs him by the boot and drags him right back into the center of the ring!
Adams: Ben has had enough of Hitamashii's games! He wants to do business where it belongs!
Ben attempts the Figure 4 but Hitamashii kicks him off with a boot to the backside! Hitamashii is up and Ben sends him reeling with a back handed chop across the chest, followed up with a forearm smash that knocks him back against the ropes! Ben attempts an Irish whip into the far side but Hitamashii holds on and reverses it! Ben jumps onto the middle rope, displaying his own athletic talent, but when he jumps off for a springboard lariat, Hitamashii counters with a double knee chest breaker!
Simone: OH! What a counter by the former Underground champion!
Ben rolls over, clutching his ribs and Hitamashii jackknifes him and grabs a handful of tights for added bonus!
ONE!
TWO!
F TH-Ben kicks out!
Adams: Hitamashii almost STOLE one there!
Hitamashii blames the referee, accusing Jacob of a slow count and demands a faster one, clapping his hands together rapidly! The Japanese wrestler jumps then to the middle turn buckle in the near corner and as Ben returned to his feet, Hitamashii leaps off with a diving calf kick from behind, leveling the Cockney King! Hitamashii slices a thumb back across his throat and springs up onto the top of the same corner. Ben rolls over onto his back, dazed, and Hitamashii LEAPS off and crash lands atop his foe with a dazzling, picture perfect 630 senton! Hitamashii with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by Ben Jordan!
Hitamashii drags him closer to the ropes and covers him again, but this time places both feet on the middle rope for added leverage!
Adams: Jacob! Open your eyes!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-KICK OUT!
Hitamashii throws a FIT, slamming both fists into the mat over and over!
Adams: He's losing his cool! That's not good!
And Hitamashii immediately locks Ben into a Cloverleaf and arm lock combination, going for the submission instead! Jacob is down there on the mat, asking Ben if he yields but the Cockney King shakes his head no! Hitamashii keeps him in the hold for what seems like FOREVER, just wanting to torture the popular Superstar! Ben then uses his free arm to prop himself up and alleviate the pressure of the hold! Ben then shows some strength of him own in a single arm push up, tucks him head in and somersaults over, throwing Hitamashii onto his back with Ben on top and Hitamashii's leg under his arm!
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out!
Simone: Ben almost caught Hitamashii by surprise there!
Hitamashii is on his feet and Ben POPS him right in the jaw, knocking him back down! Hitamashii back up and Ben clotheslines him! Ben rallies the fans as they cheer him on as Hitamashii rises, holding up a hand and begging off! Ben moves in and Hitamashii attempts a cheap shot, but Ben blocks it! Ben yanks him into his arms in a bear hug and throws him over...
Adams: Belly to Ben suplex!
And right into a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out!
And Ben transitions right into...!
Simone: Crossing Jordan!
Adams: But he's too close to the ropes!
Indeed as Hitamashii latches right onto the bottom rope, forcing the break! Respectful to the referee, Ben obliges. Hitamashii starts to rise when Ben moves onto him and gets a thumb to the eye for his troubles! Ben staggers back, temporarily blinded, and Hitamashii jumps into the ropes and launches himself off, planting Ben face-first with a bulldog! Hitamashii then climbs to the top rope, ready and waiting as Ben slowly forces himself to a standing position. Ben turns around and Hitamashii leaps for a diving Hurricanrana -- but Ben catches him and turns it into THAT HADTA HURT! Ben throws him over onto his back and sits on his chest, hooking a leg and leaning back!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner! "The Cockney King" Ben JORDAN!!
Simone: What a fight! What a match between these two former champions!
Adams: Hitamashii gave Ben the fight we knew he would but the Cockney King prevails!
Hitamashii recovers inside as Ben rolls outside and celebrates with some ringside fans!
BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
Masque (c) vs Crystal Zdunich
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Aussie Go Gym Graduate and one of the four women competing for a chance at the World Bombshell Championship Krystal Wolfe walking through the hallways ahead of her huge match.
Jessie: Young, up and coming Bombshell getting her first taste at the big time, who does that remind me off?
Krystal stops and glances over, the camera pans over and we see veteran Bombshell Jessie Salco leaning against the wall with her arms crossed waiting for her.
Krystal: I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say that you don't mean Levana Cade.
Jessie scoffs.
Jessie: Levana's fall from grace was faster and harder than anyone predicted, but she only got as far as the Blast from the Past Semi-Finals! Me on the other hand? I've been there before.
Krystal: Yeah, yeah, we've all seen your title shot campaigns Jess.
Jessie rolls her eyes.
Jessie: Those are in the past and besides that, I am approaching the twilight of my career.
Krystal: You realize that two of my opponents are older than you, right?
Jessie: Myra and Mercedes? Myra wrestles a ground based technical style, Mercedes is all over the place like you but she really takes the skies, wrestlers like me tend to have a short shelf life.
Krystal: They call it high risk for a reason I guess, just look at Sam.
Jessie: Sam took some time off after her Hall of Fame induction, remember? That probably extended her shelf life by a few more years, besides that's not what I'm here to talk about.
Jessie adds before she kicks off the wall and walks up to Krystal.
Jessie: I'm here to talk about you.
Krystal: If you're going to say that I shouldn't be in this match because I'm the only competitor who's never competed for the World Bombshell Title, much less held it, n the match then I don't want to hear it.
Krystal says before she goes to walk off.
Jessie: Just the opposite actually.
Krystal stops and turns towards Jessie.
Jessie: You brought up the fact that I beat three former World Bombshell Champions to get my shot at Andrea at Inception V as an example of not everything being set in stone, personally I would've used the Blaze of Glory X Bombshell Roulette Title Match as an example but I've noticed that that's still a sore spot for you.
Krystal: Gee, you think?!
Jessie chuckles before she walks up to the younger Bombshell.
Jessie: I just wanted to give you some advice from someone who's been in the ring with Sam, Myra and Mercedes.
Krystal: Even though out of the three of them, you've only ever beaten Mercedes?
Jessie: True but hear me out!
Jessie says as she gets into Krystal's personal space.
Jessie: Go out there and fight like a starving lioness after the last bit of zebra meat! Myra, Mercedes and Sam have all been there before and in the case of Sam and Mercedes, they know exactly what it takes to get the job done! The world will be watching you Charlotte, don't let this opportunity slip you by.
Krystal: And you called me by my real first name on TV, why?
Jessie: To help drive home how serious I am about this!
Krystal: Right, now if you excuse me I'm off to get Cass some painkillers.
Jessie: She's still feeling the effects of her being sassy to Keira I take it?
Krystal: You know it!
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
We hear RAISE YOUR GLASS by Pink hit hit the speakers and the crowd begins to murmur as they know that is Bill Barnhart's entrance music. They start looking around to see where Barnhart might be but they don't have long to wait to find out as Bill steps out of the backstage area onto the landing. He stops at the middle of the landing and lifts his mic to comment.
Bill: Boo all you want! Murmur all you want! You have a wrestling god in your presence and you need to worship me!
The crowd gets loud in their murmuring and booing of Bill Barnhart but he ignores them.
Bill: Jack Washington. You held the World Championship twice for two very short periods of time and now you've held the Internet Championship less than a month and now you have to put the Internet Championship on the line against me. Sorry to have to tell you the truth Jack but you suck. Yeah, okay, you managed to win a few Championship but the two World Championship reigns you held for short periods of time proved you can gain the Championships but retaining them for a respectable period of time is an impossible task for you to obtain. Now you face me. I earned the Roulette Championship and held it for six months. I retained the Roulette Championship longer than your three reigns combined. What's the bottom line here Jack? YOU SUCK!!! That's the bottom line!
The crowd begins to boo and scream louder but Bill doesn't care what they think.
Bill: Jack to show you what a nice guy I am I won't drag out your loss to me tonight so that the fans can be amused. I'm coming into our match to defeat you quickly and decisively. If our match lasts five minutes I'll be surprised. You know I love entertaining the fans with my outstanding wrestling abilities but our match will end with you losing the Internet Championship to me very quickly. Awwww. . .don't get all upset and pouty Jack! You'll get your rematch to attempt to get the Internet Championship back from me but you'll fail to accomplish that of course, but as least you'll get a rematch.
The crowd gets even louder with their boos to the point where people in the stadium can hear themselves think.
Bill: Shut up! I don't care what you fans are thinking right now! I don't care that you paid a lot of money for tickets to see this event in person! I'm here to win wrestling matches not to put on an entertainment play for you all. Boo all you want but in a few minutes you'll watch me perform my magic in the ring.
Bill drops the mic and turns and walks back into the backstage area leaving the crowd murmuring.
We cut to the ring where we see Chloe Benton walking back and forth, waiting for her latest (and possibly cruellest) match, Dawn glances over at her and shakes her head before going up to the rookie.
Dawn: It's going to be okay Chloe, just get past this match against Masque and..........
Chloe then panics and bolts from the ring, she looks around for a moment before running behind the commentators desk and jumping into the crowd, we then pan over to Jason and Belinda who are sharing a look.
Adams: Do we really have to do this?
Simone: Jason, it's our jobs!
Adams: Belinda, the poor girl is so terrified that she is hoping that hiding in the crowd will help her escape Masque! We're feeding a lamb to the slaughter here!
Simone: I don't understand, she came out to the ring as normal, I thought she said that she was over her fear, why is she hiding?
Adams: Last minute nerves maybe? One minute Chloe was warming up for her match on the ring ropes but the next she bolted from the ring and ran behind us!
Simone: Whatever the case, let's get this over with! Two weeks ago, Masque ended the Bombshell Internet Title Reign of Andrea Hernandez alongside her legendary undefeated streak! Now Masque is in non-title action and unfortunately, she is facing Chloe Benton who, as Jason said, is hiding behind us in the crowd!
Adams: Why would the bosses book this match?! Chloe's a sweetheart, what did she do to deserve this?!
Simone: Your guess is as good as mine! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following is a non-title match, scheduled for one fall!
The arena is plunged into darkness. A single spotlight illuminates the entranceway, as the choral refrain asks, "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" Stepping into the brightness, Masque drops to her knees and with a head tipped upwards, stares into the rafters - arms held outwards. After a few seconds she brings her gloved palms together in an apparent moment of prayer.
Climbing back to her feet, Masque interlocks her fingers and makes her languid way down the ramp, hands pressed together against her chest. Periodically, she stops in front of a gesticulating, whooping member of the audience and offers them her hand. Some shrink back, others grasp it with theirs. All quieten as she turns her eyes on them.
Justin: Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, she is the reigning Bombshell Internet Champion, this is MASQUE!!
Pausing at the ring steps, she drops to one knee and touches a hand from her heart onto the metalwork, running fingers against scuffed steel. Once she climbs onto the apron Masque raises a long leg up, hovers it just above the top rope and rolls through; using momentum to spin her entire body over and inside in a single fluid twirl. She lands sitting on the mat, hands clasped together again and looking up at the lights.
Justin: And her opponent, currently hiding in the crowd behind Belinda and Jason, from Las Vegas Nevada, Chloe Benton!
Simone: JESUS CHRIST JUSTIN! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO THE POOR GIRL?!
Adams: I'm leaving! I don't want to be anywhere near Masque!
Chloe can be seen pleading with security staff to not lead her to the ring, fortunately for Jason Masque remains in the ring, watching on as Chloe reluctantly hops the barricade and enters the ring as slowly as possible, at which point Dawn gives Chloe a sympathetic look but before she can call for the bell Chloe takes a mic from a stage hand.
Chloe: Err, Ms. Dawn can you hold on for a second?
Dawn shrugs before the terrified rookie approaches the Bombshell Internet Champion and extends her free hand out for a handshake.
Chloe: M.......Ms. Masque, I just want to apologize again for everything I said on Twitter, please?
Simone: If anyone should be apologizing, it's the bosses for booking this match!
Adams: And Krystal for inadvertently alerting Chloe to her fate!
Masque tilts her head to the side but it's hard to tell what she's thinking because of the titular Masque, Masque hands off her title to Dawn without breaking eye contact with Chloe and accepts the handshake.
Simone: Huh, didn't think Masque would......
And pulls Chloe in for a short armed clothesline (using her prosthetic arm) sending Chloe's mic flying in the process as Dawn finally calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Adams: You were saying?
Simone: Masque is unpredictable in the ring and whilst Chloe checks that all her teeth are in place, I'm being told that yes. Chloe's next of kin has been notified.
Adams: And the funeral dancers are on standby!
Masque stalks Chloe as she recoils from the short-armed clothesline and the rookie looks genuinely (emotionally) hurt for a moment, that is until she remembers who she's facing but Masque doesn't give her opponent much of a chance to try to mount a comeback offence as, seeing that Chloe is sitting up, Masque hits Chloe with a Shining Wizard! Masque goes for the first pin of the match as Dawn gets into position.
ONE!
TWO!
And Chloe kicks out!
Simone: Why did Chloe kick out? Wouldn't she want this over with as soon as possible?
Adams: It's gotta be instinct, and the slight possibility that she'll be the one to defeat Masque!
Due to her, well, mask, it's hard to tell what Masque's reaction to Chloe kicking out but she sits there with her head tilted before picking Chloe up to inflict more punishment, however Chloe surprises the terrifying champion with a jawbreaker that sends Masque stumbling backwards and gives Chloe a brief moment of respite which she uses to hit Masque with a (surprisingly good for her experience level) dropkick to Masque's jaw!
Simone: I can't believe I'm saying this but Chloe is mounting a comeback against Masque!
Adams: Masque is rolling to the outside rather than let Chloe try for a pin, will Chloe follow her out?
Chloe is clearly hesitant to follow Masque to the outside but after mustering up some courage Chloe charges at the ropes before hitting Masque with a baseball slide and then follows that up with a Springboard Crossbody to the outside! Dawn's ten count gets restarted but Chloe is clearly not looking for an easy way out of this match as she instead throws Masque back into the ring and heads to the top rope.
Simone: What's Chloe up too? Besides the top rope?
Adams: Whatever it is, she's putting up a better fight than anyone could've expected her too against Masque!
We quickly learn just what Chloe had in mind as she hits Masque with a moonsault! Chloe hesitates for a second clearly in disbelief that she actually hit that moonsault but once she gets over it Chloe goes for the pin on Masque.
ONE!
And Masque kicks out!
Simone: Masque didn't waste any time kicking out of that!
Adams: Either Chloe's hesitation cost her there or Masque is toying with hey prey, like a cat that's caught a mouse!
Chloe is clearly in shock at show quickly Masque kicked out of her pin attempt and even checks with Dawn to make sure that she heard the ref right, when Dawn nods the rookie sighs before she picks up Masque only for Masque to knock the wind out of her with a palm strike to the stomach using her regular arm, Chloe doubles over from this and Masque waits for her to stand up straight before Bicycle Kicking her face in!
Simone: And I think Masque is through toying around!
Adams: If that is the case, can she at least make this quick and painless for Chloe?
Masque goes for a pin on Chloe.
ONE!
TWO!
And Chloe kicks out! Again, Masque's mask makes it hard to judge her reaction to Chloe kicking out but the fact that Masque's head snapped around to Dawn's direction tells us everything we need to know, still Masque doesn't let up and she locks in a joint lock on Chloe prompting Dawn to get into position to check to see if Chloe wants to quit.
Simone: I want to root for Chloe to get out of that hold but I fear she's in over her head against Masque!
Adams: More so than usual!
For a moment it looks like Chloe will submit rather than continue the match against Masque, when that doesn't happen Chloe appears to pass out so Masque transitions into a sleeper hold! Dawn first checks that Masque's hold is legal and once she confirms that it is Dawn starts picking up and dropping Chloe's arm to make absolutely sure that Chloe cannot continue, the first two times Chloe's arm falls limp but on the third attempt Chloe seemingly comes to life.
Simone: Somehow, someway, Chloe is still in this!
Adams: I can't see her face for obvious reasons but Masque seems shocked about this!
Masque's head snaps back and forth as Chloe starts to fight back to her feet and breaks Masque's grip with a pair of elbows to Masque's midsection before running across the ring and hitting the champion with a Hurricanrana! Chloe holds on for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
AND MASQUE BARELY KICKS OUT! Chloe doesn't let this stop her as she heads to the top rope.
Simone: We nearly had the upset of the year right there and now Chloe's going to the top rope again, I think she might be trying for that High Cross Body that she likes to use!
Adams: And has never worked against any of her opponents but hey, maybe Masque will be the one!
Chloe waits for Masque to get back to her feet and leaps for the High Cross Body.........
MASQUE COUNTERS THE CROSS BODY WITH THE TERRORFEX TO THE THROAT, KNOCKING CHLOE OUT OF MID-AIR!
Simone: GOOD LORD! Is Chloe even breathing?!
Adams: She's rolling around in agony so I'd say yes, but stick a fork in Chloe, she's done!
Masque goes for the pin whilst grabbing a hold of Chloe's head with her regular arm.
ONE!
TWO!
AND MASQUE PULLS CHLOE UP! And we quickly find out why as Masque locks in the Rapture on Chloe!
Simone: OH COME ON MASQUE! WASN'T THE TERRORFEX KICK ENOUGH?!
Adams: Just end this already! Chloe's muffled screams are going to haunt my nightmares!
Indeed,, the only sounds that can be heard from Chloe are her muffled screams as Masque locks in The Rapture and Dawn doesn't even wait for Chloe to tap before calling for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Oh god why?! Err, I mean, Chloe Benton is unable to continue, the winner by technical knockout, the Bombshell Internet Champion, Masque!
Simone: Thank god it's over! Masque remains undefeated in singles competition!
Adams: She isn't letting go off The Rapture! For god's sake, I can see Chloe spitting blood!
Masque keeps the Rapture locked in for ten more seconds as Chloe continues to spit blood before finally letting go! Paramedics rush down to assist Chloe as Masque is given her title back which she holds in her now blood soaked prosthetic arm.
Simone: What was that about your nightmares Jason?
Adams: This match is going to be haunting them for a long time!
Masque leaves the ring and heads to the back whilst Chloe is loaded onto a stretcher.
BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
Diamond Steele (c) vs Kat Jones
We see Vinnie backstage, he is smiling as he is clearly in a good mood after his victory a few weeks ago. He spots the camera and gives the camera crew a thumbs up before motioning them to get closer
Vinnie: Welcome to my locker room as I am preparing for my match against Alexander Raven. A match that I have been looking forward to all week long, because I want to keep this feeling of being in a winning mood alive. And what better to do that to prove some hungry young talent that this isn't his moment, that today is Vinnie's day.
He nods his head in excitement
Vinnie: So I am not going to waste anyone's time with some weird talk, I am going to hit the ring and do what I love to do most... and that is to beat another man....
With that Vinnie heads to the ring
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 328 where we see Krystal Wolfe, who is one of the four women competing for a chance at the World Bombshell Championship tonight and the Aussie Go Gym Graduate is getting ready to be interviewed by Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, everyone thought that your win over Evie was the biggest win of your career but if you beat Myra, Sam and Mercedes in tonight's Fatal Four Way you'll earn a shot at Roxi Johnson and the World Bombshell Championship at Into the Void X, any thoughts on this?
Krystal: I thought I spoke at length on this matter during my promo this week? If you're asking if my thoughts have changed since then, not really.
Krystal says as she shifts her weight.
Krystal: If you ask outside observers, the only women who don't belong in this match are myself and Mercedes, Mercedes because, well, look at her recent record AND her last match and me because my only claim to fame is the Bombshell Roulette Title Reign that smashed Sam's records, in reality the only one who doesn't belong in this match is Mercedes.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Why do you say that? Mercedes is a Hall of Famer and two time Grand Slam Champion?
Krystal: Who ended her last match by being slammed through the matt by a rookie powerhouse with anger issues! I'm not saying that Ms. Jon isn't a force of nature in the ring because the only reason she didn't win that Triple Threat Match last week was because she forgot about Seleana and that left her open to the Katoga but if you ask me? I think the bosses got the match for Mercedes mixed up when they were booking this card because she'd be right at home in the Roulette Division, the World Bombshell Title scene has passed her by.
Before Krystal can say anything else we hear a younger Australian feminine voice groaning from just off camera.
Cassie: Oh god, why did I say that?
The camera pans over to show Cassie, Krystal's teenage cousin and wrestler in training, clearly favouring her arm.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Cass? What happened to you?
Krystal: Oh, she thought it was a good idea to talk sass to Keira on Twitter and Keira sent her back to Greece with an aching arm.
Cassie: I said I was sorry, okay?!
Krystal: Not as sorry as you would've been if you said that to a Go Gym Trainer, trust me, I know!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Err, anyway, what about your other opponents, Myra and Sam?
Krystal: To anyone else, they are the most likely women to win this match and go on to challenge Roxi! Sam has been there before and she knows what it takes to win the World Bombshell Championship, Myra? She failed twice against Amber and this is her first shot in just under a year, will the third time be the charm for Myra? Will Sam prove that she still has it and win that title again?
Krystal shakes her head.
Krystal: They've had their time in the sun and it's time for some new blood to get a shot at the big time and what do you know? There's a fourth woman in this Fatal Four Way, one who has never challenged for the top belt before, let alone held the World Bombshell Championship, in case it wasn't obvious, I am that woman and I've got a lot of momentum coming off of the biggest win of my SCW career to date.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I wanted to bring that up actually, Myra posited that you got that win because Evie had ring rust.
Krystal: I wasn't aware that we were making excuses for the biggest sore loser in the Bombshell Division's history!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I'm just repeating what Myra said.
Krystal: I know, I made sure to watch all three of my opponents' promos in my hotel room last night! Tell me Myra, if that was ring rust then where was that ring rust when Evie teamed with Andrea to take on the Zdunichs? You know, the match that inadvertently led to my match against Evie? She didn't seem to have any ring rust in that match but the moment she loses to me is the moment she suddenly has ring rust? With all due respect to Myra, I don't buy that for a fucking second and instead put that down to Evie not being able to cut it in the ring anymore, don't undermine my achievements just to make yourself look better Myra because that is going to bite you on the ass.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: One last thing, Sam said that she found you rubbing the fact that you had broken her records in her face annoying.
Krystal: I saw that as well but I'm going to keep this brief, Sam's yet another old person who doesn't want the younger generation to be proud of their achievements and as much as I hate to say it, I saw the same thing from Myra as well, "be humble" they say, "don't let success go to your head" they say, I worked my ass off during my near yearlong title reign and I'm not about to let some old timers pass judgment on me because I'm proud of the work I put in!
Cassie: So much for being humble.
Cassie comments and Krystal rolls her eyes.
Krystal: Really hard to stay humble when everyone and their mother is talking about my title reign like it didn't mean shit and didn't elevate that title from the "Supershow's opener" to "upper tier of the card" in just a few months! Anything else Rocky?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No, you covered everything I wanted too.
Krystal: Want some painkillers Cass?
Cassie: Like you needed to ask.
Cassie groans as she rubs her aching arm.
Krystal: Good, I've got a match to prepare for and a wrestling trainee's needs to attend to, if you excuse me!
Krystal and Cassie walk off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of 6 Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play Cancion del Mariachi as all of them start to sing while walking down the rampway. Halfway they stop and three walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face to face before Senor Vinnie walk out to the arena. He is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him. He stops as we see Bea Barnhart walk out to accompany him to the ring before the two continue their strut
Justin: Coming down the aisle accompanied by Bea Barnhart!! Standing in at 6'8 and weighing in at 280 pounds!! Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie and Bea walk to the ring as Vinnie holds the rope open for her as she steps through. He then steps through the ropes himself and hands her the cologne that he carries with him before posing a few moments before waiting for his opponent.
Justin: and his opponent...hailing from Melbourne, Australia... Alexander Raven...
As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, images of ravens flying appearing on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the centre of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing off the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp. He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the centre of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backwards slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot.
The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Vinnie and Raven circle the ring as Raven steps forward towards Vinnie but Vinnie backs away a little, before they both move in and lock up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position as neither get the upper hand and instead Vinnie is the first to blink and breaks the tie up and grabs Raven around the neck and under his arm before quickly transitioning into a proper headlock, where Vinnie grabs Raven around the waist as he tries to move towards the ropes, which Raven briefly blocks before Vinnie finally gets their but nothing more comes from it and instead Raven and grabs at Vinnie's arms and breaks the headlock and bends Vinnie wrist awkwardly before finally countering into a headlock of his own.
Simone: Good early exchange here, as Vinnie breaks ranks and grabs Raven before moving into a proper headlock, as Raven seeks a way out of the move. He takes his time but eventually he breaks the headlock and grabs Vinnie wrist in a lock before locking in a headlock of his own.
Vinnie takes a moment before driving forward as he pushes Raven up against the ropes, from where he uses the momentum to push Raven away, who bounces off the ropes but Vinnie follows and as Raven stops Vinnie hits a shoulder block on Raven before dropping down and goes for a cover but the ref doesn't get a count off as Raven kicks out, as they both quickly make their way to their feet as Vinnie grabs Raven into a front face lock before lifting him up and then planting him down face first. Raven rolls away holding his face as Vinnie looks on at Raven, as Raven grabs the ropes and slowly moves back to his face as Vinnie begins a clap, which the fans follow, and Raven gets to his feet.
Adams: Nice shoulder block from Vinnie before going for a cover but the ref can't register it as Raven kicks out too quickly. They both climb back to their feet as Vinnie grabs Raven once more into a front face lock before lifting him up and planting him face first.
Simone: Raven is struggling to get into this match.
Raven shakes off the spike as he and Vinnie circle the ring before moving back in and locking up in the centre of the ring as the clapping quickly dies down, but Raven is quick to break and counters it into a waist lock, but it's only brief as Vinnie counters into a waist lock of his own. Raven looks to find a way out as he grabs at Vinnie hands before resorting to throwing an elbow backwards catching Vinnie in the side of the head.
Simone: Raven is back to his feet as he and Vinnie lock up again, but Raven breaks and locks in a waist lock, but Vinnie counters into one of his own. Raven looks for a way out and connects with a vicious elbow backwards, which rocks Vinnie.
Vinnie releases his waist lock and hold his jaw, as Raven rushes forward and bounces off the ropes but Vinnie grabs him and looks to hit a hip toss but Raven blocks it and counters and tries for a hip toss of his own and is blocked by Vinnie, Vinnie then hits an arm drag as they both quickly get back to their feet as Raven approaches Vinnie, Vinnie quickly grabs Raven into a headlock before taking him down to the mat. Raven is quick to get his forearm into Vinnie face as the ref moves in and checks for any pins. Vinnie holds the headlock in place, as Raven thinks about his next move, as he pushes himself up as he raises one of his free legs as looks to get a headscissors locks in, but Vinnie blocks it, but Raven isn't done as he grabs Vinnie around the waist before twisting himself and dragging Vinnie onto his back for a pin...
Adams: Raven goes to capitalise on it and looks to for a hip toss, but Vinnie blocks and Vinnie tries and is block before hitting an arm drag. They both get to their feet but Vinnie grabs Raven and into a headlock and down to the mat.
Simone: Raven takes a moment as tries for a headscissors but Vinnie shakes him free but Raven isn't done and he grabs Vinnie around the torso before adjusting and goes for a quick pin...
ONE!
KICKOUT!
Vinnie kicks out, as he slowly makes his way to his feet with the headlock still in place and Raven's arm around his waist, Vinnie is the first to blink and releases, but Raven now has the advantage with the waist lock as Vinnie grabs at Raven hands trying to break them but instead bend over and grabs Raven's leg and pulls and sends Raven down to the mat, as he keep a hold on one of Raven legs and proceeds to tie Raven up in a figure four leg lock, much to the crowd delight.
Adams: It's only a one count, but it's enough for Raven as Vinnie drags himself and Raven to their feet, which he has to break the headlock but remains in a waist lock. Vinnie grabs at Raven's hands with little success and instead bends down and grabs one of Raven's legs and sends him down to the mat before locking in a figure four leg lock.
Crowd: WOOO
Raven grimaces in slight discomfort, however, he quickly begins to move and shuffle as he gets closer to the ropes and grabs them, which Vinnie keep in place as the ref moves in and gets to three before Vinnie breaks the famed leg lock. Vinnie rolls away as he stays on his knees, while Raven moves to the apron holding onto his leg. Raven climbs to his feet as he looks to climb back in, but Vinnie who has partially stalking him, moves in and grabs Raven's leg and hits a dragon screw leg whip.
Simone: Raven continue to remain on the back foot, as he quickly shuffle himself closer to the ropes, where he grabs them and the ref moves in and gets to three, which forces Vinnie to release.
Adams: Raven moves to the apron and gets to his feet but as he comes back into the ring, Vinnie hits a dragon screw on Raven's leg. Raven reels from the move and he drops onto the apron before bailing.
Raven grimaces in pain as he drop to the apron before climbing out of the ring, as Vinnie climbs to his feet before moving to the ropes, where he climbs through and onto the apron, Vinnie waits and as Raven turns, Vinnie leaps off as he looks for an axe handle, but Raven hits a European uppercut as Vinnie lands on his feet. Vinnie stumbles back stunned, but Raven steps forward and grabs Vinnie and delivers a headbutt to the bridge of Vinnie's nose. The ref who was shouting at Vinnie and Raven to bring the action back into the ring, but fell on deaf ears begins a count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: Vinnie looks to go for an axe handle on Raven but as Raven turns he sees it coming and catches Vinnie with a European uppercut the rocks Vinnie, this gives Raven the opening he needs and begins to work on Vinnie, as he delivers a headbutt.

Adams: The ref up to six as Raven delivers a couple of boots to the prone Vinnie.

Raven shakes his head before climbing on top of Vinnie and begins to punch and hit forearms in frustration before climbing off him. He grabs Vinnie by the hair and pulls him up and whips him into the corner. Raven goes to follow up with a big running boot, but Vinnie dodges and Raven ends up in the corner. Vinnie takes a moment as Raven removes his leg from the top rope, Vinnie moves in and hits a shoulder block to one of Raven's knees, as Raven drops to the mat, where Vinnie repays the favour of punches and forearm shots of his own to Raven.
Adams: Another kickout, as Raven begins to get frustrated by Vinnie. Raven goes for a big boot to Vinnie but Vinnie dodges and Raven catch nothing but top rope. Vinnie takes a moment before hitting a shoulder block to one of Raven's knees.
Simone: It's been all Raven, but Vinnie is sneaking back in.
Vinnie climbs off Raven and climbs to his feet, where he delivers a couple of stomps on Raven before grabbing him and pulls him up once more before hitting a snap suplex. Raven arches his back as Vinnie climbs back to his feet and grab Raven once more, where he pulls him up and grabs him around the waist as he looks for a German suplex. Raven, however, blocks the attempt and throws an elbow backwards catching Vinnie. Vinnie stumbles back a little stunned, as Raven approaches but Vinnie surprises Raven with a headbutt.

Simone: Raven attempts a sniff of a come back but doesn't work out so well and gets a headbutt for his trouble.

SINGLES MATCH
JC vs Fenris
Backstage, SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas stands by backstage interviewer Ms. Rocky Mountains stands by for an on-the-spot interview.
Rocky: Mercedes, as we just learned this week the winner of tonight's fatal four-way gets a World Bombshell Championship match against Roxi Johnson at Into the Void. There is plenty of history between you, Sam Marlowe and Krystal Wolfe, not to mention you and Krystal face Myra Rivers for the first time. Last week, Seleana pinned you in a triple threat also involving Ms. Jon. How do you plan on not losing a second multi-woman match this week?
Mercedes cuts the interviewer a murderous look.
Mercedes: They say that a broken clock is right twice a day. Well, Seleana should consider herself lucky because she had a little help by her side, No thanks in part to Ms. Jon. Maybe her manager, Martin Howe III, might disagree but the evidence is there.
Rocky: Granted, you didn't take the loss too well attacking Ms. Jon backstage. Mercedes, there's a reason why most of the locker room stays clear of Ms. Jon. You basically kicked a hornet's nest. No wonder why Martin Howe III was very angry in his address speaking for his client.
Mercedes divides her attention between Rocky and the camera.
Mercedes: You don't say? Well, I guess he's going to have to worry about that later because Ms. Jon has her own match to worry about tonight, and Bella Madison and Kat Jones are waiting.
Rocky: And as for your match?
Mercedes: Sam, Myra, and Krystal knows that I'm the biggest threat in this match. They can try and dismiss me all they want, but they can't. Like I said, I'm not in that ring with them, they're in that ring with me.
The camera cuts to the arena and a wide shot of the crowd watching the interview on the video wall.
Mercedes: There's nothing more dangerous than a woman with nothing to lose but has everything to gain, Rocky. I'm prepared to go through Sam, Myra, and Krystal if they get in my way. I think I'm ready for another run and to add one more championship to my collection. Tonight is about making history one more time. This is just step number one. That being said, Sam, Myra, Krystal...
Mercedes now turns her full attention to the camera.
Mercedes: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. And may the odds be ever in your favor.
Climax Control cuts to some pre-recorded footage where Andrea Hernandez's personal interviewer, Angelica Romero, is sitting on a couch ready to conduct a part two of the sit down interview that occurred last week. She definitely feels a bit tense considering the way the interview abruptly ended last week, but she's as poised as she can be as Andrea walks into the room and sits down across from her. She is wearing a guilty expression on her face as she begins to talk.
Andrea: Look Angelica, I wanted to say I was sorry regarding how I cut you off last week and just got up and walked out. The thing is, I was still pretty miffed about the week before to a degree but then I came to a realization. The fact of the matter is, I was unprepared because they, and by they I mean the powers that be, served me nothing but cupcakes beforehand prior to two weeks ago and... UGH... by the time they threw that curveball at me... well...
Angelica: Are you insinuating that they set you up for failure by giving you opponents like Seleana and Jessie?
Andrea: Do the math, Angelica.
Angelica: Andrea... I don't work for SCW directly. I work for you as everyone knows. I know my job is ‘personal interviewer' but don't you think that you're pushing it by suggesting that two weeks ago happened because you were set up to fail by the powers that be all over who was challenging you before? I mean...
Andrea: Angelica, does your title include "public relations specialist"?
Angelica: No...
Andrea: So why are you trying to be one?
Angelica: I'm looking out for you that's all. I'm warning you... if you really want to have that on the record and actually endorse that opinion that you're putting out there... then... well... you KNOW that the powers that be have a tendency to ‘vengeance book'. I mean, look at Adrienne Beaufort. She tried to cut the line against Amber, they punished her by throwing her against you. Then they throw her against Myra. Then she complains about not being booked and then they throw her against Masque. I'm just saying that if you REALLY want to die on that hill, it's not going to end well for you.
Andrea doesn't seem happy to hear this.
Andrea: I'm NOT Adrienne, I'm LIGHT YEARS above her league.
Angelica: You ARE, which is why I'm telling you that you should choose your words carefully and pick the hills worth dying on. In my opinion, this is NOT one of them.
Andrea lets out an angry sigh.
Andrea: FINE! I completely retract that statement.
Angelica: Smart girl. You're better than that. I know last week you were short and I get why. I know going through two weeks ago was hard on you, more than you'd ever admit publicly. But this week, you did create a bit of a stir. After all, you did point out that you wanted to face your main event demons and how you wanted to step up back into that title picture which is GREAT! There's NOTHING wrong with that. But then, you REALLY made your voice heard when you were completely bashing the four way match tonight. You basically said that three of the four women didn't deserve to be in it. You excluded Myra Rivers. Why DID you exclude her?
Andrea: She's the only one of the four that I haven't faced or beaten in Sin City Wrestling. Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, you can make an argument for her being in this match because RUNNER UP that's all. Then again, she always IS the bridesmaid. I really feel that if I got a crack at her, I WOULD beat her.
Angelica: You have a respect for her that you don't have for the other three.
Andrea: I never said that and why would I? Because she MENTORED ME? Because she tried giving me ‘advice'? PFFFT! I'll never like Myra as a person. My problem is that during my winning streak I BEAT all three of the OTHER women at one point or another yet THEY are the ones getting this opportunity and NOT me? I mean for FUCK'S SAKE, Mercedes Vargas got pinned by SELEANA LAST WEEK... the same Seleana I beat last month... but SHE gets the opportunity and NOT me? What the FUCK is Sam Marlowe doing in that match? Seriously! She JUST came back. I guess SCW had some extra AARP cards to hand out or something, I mean SHEESH! She's done NOTHING to earn that shot. As for Krystal? Well, she's the MOST OVERRATED BOMBSHELL ON THE WHOLE ROSTER! She hasn't even WON on a Climax Control for fuck's sake. She's NOT a main event contender and DOESN'T deserve this. It's not just that I've beaten her twice, it's just that someone with a LOSS TO SAM MARLOWE on their record in 2022 shouldn't be challenging for the world title. Ever since I ended her farce of a streak, she's been exposed as the fraud that she is. That's why I got mad...
Angelica: That's fair enough. You feel that you deserve it over those three considering your success against them.
Andrea: Myra is too nice to say it, but deep down in her heart, she knows it should be her and I one on one. I want my opportunity too, you know... especially since you consider the last time I faced the CURRENT champion one on one, I BEAT HER! I've got unfinished business with that world title and I'll do what I have to do to get to that point.
Angelica: You better slow it down a bit before they suddenly announce you're facing Amber Ryan at Into the Void or something...
Andrea rolls her eyes.
Andrea: Yeah, whatever. I'm done... I'm not going to take this lack of faith from you.
Andrea scoffs, stands up and blows off her own interviewer before she walks out of the picture again.
Angelica: ...I don't know if Andrea is bold or if she's stubborn but...
Angelica pauses and sighs.
Angelica: ...part three next week? Maybe?
Angelica sheepishly shrugs her shoulders as part two of the sit down interview ends.
MYRAClimax Control cuts backstage to Myra Rivers in the hallway and she is in a fiercely determined mood tonight. Considering the task at hand, she's in the exact headspace that she needs to be. The fire in her eyes is incredibly evident and her body language is at the most confident it has ever been throughout her entire Sin City Wrestling career. Once she realizes the cameras are rolling, she begins to express her thoughts.
Myra: I'm going to start off by saying something to Roxi that I didn't think I'd say. I have my thoughts and opinions just like everyone else and I may not necessarily agree with the perspective of another, at least not at first. But, as time passes and you go through more experiences, that perspective that you weren't aligning with before all of a sudden starts to make sense to you. So, the thing that I want to say to Roxi right now is three simple words.
‘I get it'.
A few months ago, when she was pushing and campaigning for a world title shot, I was one of those people that was concerned about her being ‘obsessed' with the world title. I didn't attack her the way other Bombshells that wanted her to go to the back of the line did, but I was concerned when she kept talking about ‘not good enough', ‘never satisfied', that type of thing. I don't think Roxi is that type of person at heart. I think she was going through the perspective that she felt she needed to go through in order to end up with the world title that she has now. A few months ago, when we last fought and we had our draw, she instantly beat herself up for the draw and I didn't understand why. I, at the time, was happy with the outcome because it was progress from our match before that, a loss on my part. But looking back? I'm WAY less satisfied with that draw NOW than I was then. I wasn't giving myself enough credit then. But, months later with how much I've grown and evolved, I get it.
...and that's why I've got to win this match tonight to settle the score.
I've said before that there is a certain label that I want to outright kill here in Sin City Wrestling and it's NOT ‘choker', it's NOT ‘can't finish', it's NOT ‘never will be enough'. It's a label that was obviously meant to be positive, but as time has gone on, it's a label that I'm growing sicker of. That label?
‘Best Bombshell that hasn't won the world title'.
Myra pauses and shakes her head, showing her disapproval for that particular label.
Myra: I want to take that label and I want to kill it with fire. I'd rather be known as the worst that's ever won it then the best that's never had it because at least with the former, you've WON IT! I KNOW in my heart that I'm FAR too good of a wrestler to NEVER win the SCW Bombshells World Championship. Roxi, if you're hearing this, does this sound familiar to you? Because the way I see it, I'm finding myself in a similar spot today as you were last fall when you were chasing down that world title you hold now. You just get that extra fire, extra anger, extra motivation, whatever you want to call it that creates this attitude within you that you just don't want to be denied anymore. You get it, Roxi. I don't need to dumb that down for you. But I want this match and I want this BADLY. I'm DONE letting SOMEONE ELSE deny me! I've said it before and I'll say it again that this is MY TIME to have that shine, MY time to have that moment. Sam, Mercedes, Krystal... all due respect... you're roadblocks tonight. You're who I have to get through and I WILL get through all of you. This is MY WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY and I'll be DAMNED if one of you slams it shut! I'm not in desperation mode or anything... but I'm TIRED of the same old narrative and I AM going to change that tonight.
This is MY match to win!
Let's just call the Blast from the Past finals the LAST STRAW here! I've got to be more assertive. I've got to be more confident. I can't hang on to the shortcomings from before anymore and starting TONIGHT, I'm DONE hanging onto them. You're NEVER going to see me bring them up again. I'm not the wrestler stuck in the past anymore. I'm NOT the wrestler stuck on "SOMEDAY IT'LL HAPPEN!"
No FUCK "SOMEDAY"!
"Someday" doesn't get you SHIT! But you know what does get you what you want?
TODAY...
As in TODAY I take that step!
TODAY I rise to the occasion!
TODAY I prove that I deserve to be the SCW Bombshells World Champion!
TODAY is THE fucking day that Myra RIvers PERMANENTLY establishes herself as a main event contender WHEN I win this match. I want it more than all three of you put together and there's no way you're going to get in my way. To quote Queen...
I want it ALL... and I want it NOW!!!!!
Because TOMORROW? What I want to focus on is breaking that deadlock with you Roxi... and at Into the Void, that's exactly what I'm going to do when I win this match tonight then win that title from you!
TODAY is that day damn it... and NOBODY gets to tell me otherwise.
Myra walks away from the camera carrying her incredibly fierce determination to a whole host of rousing cheers. Once she disappears from view, the scene fades to black.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest, is a FATAL FOUR-WAY match!
"Limelight" by Rush starts up and before long, SCW Bombshell's champion Roxi Johnson parts the curtain, making her way down to the ringside area, ensure she high fives a bunch of fans all the way around ringside before returning up the entrance and taking a seat next to Belina and Jason. They exchange pleasantries as Roxi sits down.
Adams: It's wonderful to have you out here tonight, Roxi.
Roxi: Thanks for allowing me out here. I look forward to seeing 4 very talented women tear the house down.
Simone: Is there one of these women in particular you are more interested in wrestling?
Roxi: Not particularly. I've wrestled Sam, I'm wrestled Myra, and I've wrestled Mercedes. I know what they can do. Krystal is a bit of a wild card, but she's in a big spot, I think it's a bit of a jump in the level of competition if you're coming after the Bombshell's championship.
Adams: Let us wait no longer.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. She turns, eyeballing Roxi and giving her a sarcastic wave as she looks.
Roxi: The ring is that way.
As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponents to arrive.
Adams: Mercedes has done it all, and this could be the start of something of a career renessiance for Mercedes if she wins tonight.
Roxi: That's true, but it's a big if.
Simone: You don't sound like you believe in Mercedes that much.
Roxi: Oh she's fully capable, I'm just not willing to bet the house on Mercedes Vargas.
The opening to "Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the lights dim, once the music kicks into high gear strobe lights flash around the entrance ramp before a single spotlight stops on Krystal as she kneels on one knee with her head down and hood up.
Justin: Introducing first, hailing from Adelaide, Australia she is "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
Once the lyrics hit Krystal removes her hood and looks out to the crowd before standing up and making her way down to the ring. She gives Roxi the "I've got my eye on you" hand gesture, which Roxi returns. she hops onto the apron before jumping over the ropes and into the ring where she removes the jacket and waits.
Adams: Krystal Wolfe could surprise a lot of people here tonight. She is an underdog.
Roxi: And that can bring out the best in a lot of people.
Simone: Or could this stage be too big for her?
The soft twang of an electric guitar begins to play as "She's Country" blasts out over the arena. A familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show dressed in white and gold hotpants, matching halter, short jacket and a pair of lace up wrestling boots that look like cowboy boots where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: Introducing from Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, she is Sam Marlowe!
Sam raises her arms as she is introduced. She turns, waving to Roxi with a smile on her face and Roxi returns it with a nod. Heading to the ring, she plays to the fans, slapping hands and posing with others. Finally, she climbs the stairs to the ring apron and lays herself across the middle rope and blows a kiss to the camera and then rolls inside the ring. Walking towards the corner, she unzips her short jacket and pulls it off. Handing it to ringside staff, she turns and begins stretching out for the match.
Adams: Sam Marlowe is a legendary figure in SCW, there is no doubt she'd love to be at the top again.
Simone: She is the most experienced in the ring, multiple championships, she's also done it all.
Roxi: She's great. One of the best. There is no doubt about that.
"Come to Life" by Alter Bridge hits the speakers and the crowd lets out a strong reaction of support as Myra Rivers appears on the stage, already looking to take care of business. She eyes Roxi and points at her, drawing another nod from the champion. She heads down the ramp momentarily pausing at the bottom to give a quick smile at anyone nearby that is letting her know that they are behind her. Once the chorus starts, she gets inside of the ring and walks up to the opposite corner, adjacent to the ring announcer. She leans against the corner, focused and determined for her upcoming match, reveling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.
Adams: And Myra Rivers, she's been incredibly consistent. She's been at or near the top of the mountain for a long time now.
Roxi: That is very true, hopefully this moment doesn't pass her by.
Simone: You sound like you're encouraging her.
Roxi: I am. Because I encourage everyone. You want something, you have to go out there and earn it, and with Mikah being on vacation, the chance is right there.
Simone: Does that bother you? That Mikah is treating this like it's not a big deal?
Roxi: It's not a big deal to her. But her loss, is going to be one of these ladies' gains.
DING DING DING
The four women eyeball one another each crouched and catiuously sizing the next woman up, until Mercedes just rolls out of the ring.
Adams: And Mercedes is apparently not interested in jumping into the action.
Roxi: Typical, but strategic.
Mercedes gets roundly boo'd by the fans at ringside, motioning for Myra, Sam, and Krystal to start wrestling. Myra motions for her to come back into the ring and Mercedes is having none of it. Myra leans through the ropes to reach out for Mercedes, but she backs away motioning for the others to fight. Krystal is also suggesting that Mercedes get into the ring, but she's quite happy on the floor. Sam meanwhile, shrugs, hits the ropes and jumps up and OVER Myra who leaning through the ropes, and lands right on Mercedes with a plancha!
Adams: Leave to Sam Marlowe to get things started!
Sam has taken Mercedes down and slowly gets up, hammering away as Mercedes stumbles to her feet. Krystal in the meantime shrugs and rolls up Myra from behind!
ONE!
TWO!
Myra kicks out.
Adams: Krystal tried to pull a fast one!
Roxi: Always have to mind your surroundings.
Simone: Myra got caught napping after that dive from Sam.
Myra and Krystal and both back up and Krystal shows no fear throwing some hard forearms at Myra to stun her, Myra fights back with shots of her own. On the floor, Sam rams Mercedes' head into the apron. Mercedes rolls into the ring and Sam climbs into the apron, and springboards into the ring, taking down Myra and Krystal with a double flying clothesline!
Adams: Sam Marlowe is all over the place!
Simone: She is trying to set the tone early!
Sam is up and she hits Myra with a hard right hand before grabbing her and throwing her face-first into the corner turnbuckle. Mercedes sees this, and quickly slides in to pin Krystal who is still down!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
Sam hears the pin and hits a low dropkick on Mercedes to break it up. Mercedes instantly rolls from the ring again to avoid any other attacks. Sam turns back to Myra, and leaps up for a hurricanrana, but Myra overpowers her and went go over. She powers Sam up onto her shoulders, but Krystal is back up and dropkicks Myra in the back, sending her stumbling forward and Sam completes the hurricanrana!
ONE!
TWO!
Myra kicks out.
Myra's power sends Sam forward and into Krystal, who jumps up and snaps off a hurricanrana of her own, taking Sam over for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Sam kicks out.
Krystal is quickly back up and again charges Myra, looking for a cross-body, but Myra catches her in mid-air and quickly turns it into a nasty back-breaker. Krystal rolls on the mat arching her back, as Myra stands up and ducks a charging Sam's clothesline, and drops her with a hangman's neckbreaker! Myra gets up with a grin, but fails to see Mercedes has swooped into the ring again, and throws Myra threw the ropes to the floor!
Adams: Myra lost focus for one second!
Simone: And Mercedes is trying to steal it!
Mercedes dives into the pin on Krystal!
ONE!
TWO!
Krystal kicks out.
Undaunted, Mercedes tries to pin Sam!
ONE!
TWO!
Sam kicks out as well!
Mercedes slaps the mat in frustration and stands up, stomping both her downed opponents. She turns and sees Myra getting up on the outside and steps out onto the apron, she looks for a kick, but Myra ducks and cuts down Mercedes, sending her back-first onto the apron. Mercedes clutches her back and slides onto the floor again as Myra re-enters the ring. Krystal is in the corner, using the ropes to get up and Myra comes over and gives her some hard forearms to the chest and torso, before beginning to drive her shoulder into the stomach of Krystal, causing her to slump down in the corner after 4 hard shots. Myra turns and sees Sam back on her feet, and moves in. Sam tries a kick, but Myra catches the boot, only for Sam to jump up and nail Myra in the back of the head with an enziguri! Myra goes down holding the back of her head as Sam gets up and charges Krystal still seated in the corner with a bronco buster!
Adams: Once again, Sam Marlowe is moving really well in this match!
Roxi: She's is absolutely dictating the pace, that's a true veteran in the ring.
Sam gets off of Krystal and pulls her up in the corner and chops Krystal before Sam leaps up, and sends Krystal flying across the ring with a monkey flip! Krystal lands hard, and as soon as Sam is back up, Mercedes is right there to nail her with a clothesline!
Adams: And Mercedes strikes again!
Simone: She does seems to have a sound strategy.
Mercedes looks at all three women on the mat and goes around stomping the all of them. She uses her boot to choke Sam leaning against the corner, breaking before the 5-count. She grabs Myra by the hair and pulls her to a seated position, before delivering a stiff kick right to the spine, and then follows it up with a rolling neck snap. Myra clutches at her neck before Mercedes goes over to Krystal and motioning for her to get up. Krystal obliges and Mercedes goes for a right hand, that is blocked and Krystal fires off one of her own. Mercedes is stunned, going for another punch, that is also blocked and Krystal again nails Mercedes. Krystal rattles off five shots in a row, sending Mercedes reeling into the ropes. Krystal grabs Mercedes' arm and sends her into the ropes. On the rebound, Krystal tries for a clothesline, but Mercedes ducks, and when Krystal spins around, Mercedes hits a quick boot and lightning-fast DDT! Krystal is down and Mercedes stands up, brushing her shoulders off, very proud of herself.
Adams: And now Mercedes is in complete control.
Roxi: For now.
Mercedes senses victory and demands Jacob make the count as she pins Krystal. Jacob gets into position for the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THR- KRYSTAL SHOOTS HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!
Simone: And Krystal is still in this!
Mercedes is very upset about the count speed, despite it being consistent. Mercedes still argues, and doesn't feel Myra come behind her and lift her up in belly-to-back suplex position and then turn it into a wicked back breaker! Mercedes howls in pain and rolls out of the ring. Myra stands up and charges Sam in the corner, but Sam is able to move aside. Myra collides with the corner chest first and Sam bounds off the ropes and charges, looking for a spear, but Myra is able to turn it into a Kimura!
Adams: Kimura lock! It's in tight!
Simone: What a counter!
Roxi: This could be in, that's right in the center of the ring!
Sam yells in pain and her right hand goes up in the air as if she might tap. Myra wrenches in the hold as much as possible, only for it to be broken up as Krystal Wolfe comes flying in with a corkscrew splash out of nowhere!
Adams: And Krystal saves the match!
Krystal is hurting as she gets to her feet, clutching her ribs as Sam rolls away holding her arm and Myra is down from the impact of the splash. Krystal looks around, and out of the corner of her eye, spots Mercedes coming in for a sneak attack. Krystal ducks, and when Mercedes spins around, Krystal nails her with a superkick! Mercedes is down and Krystal drags her into position. Krystal heads to the outside, scaling the turnbuckles.
Adams: Krystal is going for it all right here!
Simone: I thought she could rise to the occasion!
Roxi: She just might!
Krystal gets to the top rope, but Sam is there and begins nailing Krystal in the back to slow her down. Sam starts climbing and she and Krystal start battling, allowing Mercedes to get up and shove Sam off the ropes to the floor!
Adams: And Sam crashes and burns!
Krystal continues to fight off Mercedes, kicking her away. Mercedes stumbles back into Krystal who hooks her head and spins out of the corner, spiking Mercedes with a tornado DDT! Krystal pumps her fist, rolling Mercedes over for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR- MYRA BREAKS IT UP!
Adams: So close! Myra JUST saved the match!
Myra has indeed broken up the pinfall, and she slowly gets to her feet grabbing Krystal and trying to lock in a cobra clutch, which Krystal tries to fight off. The two struggle mightily, until they are both taken out by a SPEAR from Sam Marlowe!
Adams: And AGAIN, Sam Marlowe is back in this match.
Simone: And Krystal took the brunt of that spear, but Myra has to be hurting as well!
Roxi: This is truly anyone's match right now.
Krystal is down and hurting and Myra is slowly back to her feet, she takes a wild swing at Sam, who ducks and drops Myra with a double knee backbreaker! Sam then drags Myra into position and begins to climb the ropes backwards, perhaps looking for a moonsault. However, Mercedes comes back to life and crotches Sam on the turnbuckle, and then lifts her over her head, and drops Sam with the Black Rose Overdrive!
Adams: Mercedes has it won here!
Simone: Her strategy looks to be paying off!
Mercedes frantically makes the cover, and Jacob drops into position!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Adams: What?!
Simone: Who the...
From nowhere, Ms. Jon pulls Mercedes off of the pin and out of the ring. Ms. Jon smirks as she knees Mercedes in the rib and throws her face-first into the post on the floor.
Adams: Ms. Jon?! What in the world?
Roxi: Mercedes IS really good at making enemies.
Simone: She just totally cost Mercedes the pin right there!
Mercedes is down on the floor and Krystal rolls herself back into the ring as Ms. Jon pulls a nearly lifeless Mercedes up and throws her into the ring, and just walks away, up the entrance, her job apparently done. Krystal spots Mercedes down and figures this is her chance. She pulls Mercedes up and gets her into position, and locks in the Long Rest!
Adams: Krystal Wolfe has it synched in!
Simone: She's gonna pull this off!
Mercedes fights for dear life to stay on her feet, with Krystal on her back, trying to finish the dragon sleeper. Mercedes lunges for the ropes but Krystal does lock it in. However, Myra Rivers comes from behind and throws Krystal off of Mercedes and that sends Krystal crashing to the floor, and it takes out Sam Marlowe on the floor!
Adams: Myra Rivers saves the match again!
Mercedes still has no idea where she is, and she spins right into a kick to the mid-section from Myra, who lifts her up, and connects with the Rebel Bomb! She quickly rolls Mercedes over and covers, hooking both legs as tight as possible!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Adams: Myra Rivers has done it!
Simone: Looks like we're getting Myra vs. Roxi at Into the Void!
Roxi: A well-deserved victory.
Myra looks to be on the verge of tears as she pumps her fist and stands, physically drained. Mercedes has rolled out of the ring as Roxi stands up from the announce position and slowly begins to walk to the ring. Mercedes is holding her head, and she slowly gets up. She eyeballs Roxi, who motions that the person Mercedes is really after is in the back. Mercedes slowly stumbles away growling about Ms. Jon. Krystal has made her way up and begins walking to the back. Roxi stops her, and offers a handshake and a pat on the shoulder. Roxi congratulates her on the effort, Krystal nods and holds her fingers out to indicate she was close. Roxi nods in agreement as Krystal slowly walks away. Roxi checks on Sam, who is also back up, holding her neck. Roxi asks if she's okay and Sam nods and the two friends embrace as Roxi watches Sam collect herself and walk away, before she walks up the steps and into the ring, with the championship over her shoulder.
Adams: Well, this is going to be a hell of a match.
Roxi looks at Myra, trying to catch her breath and very happy. She nods at Roxi, who offers a handshake and a congratulations to Myra, who accepts it. Roxi raises Myra's hand as Myra's music plays.
Adams: Myra Rivers wins the fatal four-way and she's headed to Into the Void.
Simone: And Roxi looks to be ready for the challenge.
Roxi gives Myra a nod of encouragement and she exits the ring, leaving Myra to soak up the victory for the moment.
WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPIONSHIP
Roxi Johnson (c) vs Myra Rivers
The camera cuts to the backstage area where Sin City World Champion Mac Bane is entering the area used for interviews. He is dressed all in black as he takes up the microphone.
Mac: Since I made my selection as the number one contender for this world title.
He smirks and shakes his head.
Mac: A lot of people have had a lot to say.
Ben Jordan
Fenris
Mark Cross
He rolls his eyes at the last name.
Mac: The thing that everyone seems to forget is that winning the tournament, It's my choice. Not yours and certainly not the fans. Mine and mine alone.
His eyes harden as he continues.
Mac: Ben Jordan, you're one hundred percent correct, you are one of the people I want to defend against. I was being polite in waiting for you to find your fucking smile.
He shakes his head in disgust.
Mac: When you find it, let me know. As for you White Wolf. You know better than anyone the level of respect I have for you. You took my choice personally, do not make this personal young man.
You can tell by the look on his face he doesn't even want to acknowledge the last one, but he raises the microphone up and continues.
Mac: That brings us to the iguana. Mark Cross, is a part-time player in a full-time world. You only stick around when it suits you. The last time you held this title, what was it you called yourself...ah yes, a reluctant champion. Something I relived you of, heaven forbid you to have to bear that burden again.
If looks could kill, Mark Cross would be dead three times over.
Mac: So, you went and challenged Knox
Bane starts clapping his hands slowly as if to mock him.
Mac: That's good, it won't change anything. Did you call yourself an acid test? You're joking, right? The pure arrogance of thinking you even belong in the conversation is palpable.
The intensity and the stance he has taken reveal quite a lot about this topic.
Mac: You are about to find out, the first part of why I chose him. He's a man who has won titles all over our industry. Over in valor, he never lost his title, he was stripped of it by a corrupt owner. If you think he's not pissed about that? There's more to the reason I chose him but that's none of your concern.
Mac allows a smile to tug at the corners of his mouth.
Mac: At the end of the day, I do this thing...it's called what I want.
Justin: The following match is our Main Event and is for the Sin City Wrestling Internet championship!!!
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.
Justin: Standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Lawrenceville, Georgia!! The challenger!! Bill Barnhart!!!
"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.
Justin: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6'1 and weighing in at 235 pounds!! Hailing from Philadelphia, Pensyllvania!! The Internet Champion!! Jack Washington!!
DING DING DING!
bell has rang as Bill Barnhart and Jack Washington circle each other inside the ring, preparing to fight for the Internet title with the knowledge that Goth will be waiting in a few weeks. Bill wants to open the match by charging in on Jack as he pushes him into the corner and drives series of knees in the midsection of Jack before hitting a few elbows in the back from the Internet champion, dropping Jack Washington down on the canvas. Bill stomps on the hands of the champion before driving series of knees into the side of the Jack's face. Causing Dawn to get between Bill and Jack and tells him to stop the assault that he was putting on the champion. Bill backs off, keeping the attention on him as Bea wraps a chain across the throat of Jack Washington and chokes him for a few seconds before walking away before Dawn turns around towards the champion.
Simone: That was a good distraction from Bill and Bea, that sure gives them an edge right now over the champ.
Adams: True, but we both know how resilient Jack Washington can be.
Bill walks back to Jack, he grabs him by the head and pulls him up to his feet. Bill pushes Jack's face across the top rope and rubs him face first over the top rope before using the rope to send Jack back into the middle of the ring as Bill smirks towards his wife as the fans boo him. Bill turns his attention back to Jack after gloating a few seconds towards the fans and walks over to Jack Washington. He tries to grab both legs and set Jack up for a figure four leglock, but the champion manages to use his leg strength to push Bill into the ropes. Bill comes off the ropes as Jack executes a kip up and charges in on Bill and drops him with a running lariat. Jack uses his own momentum as he keeps running towards the ropes and comes off the ropes. There he ducks a clothesline from Bill who has gotten back to his feet, jumps the ropes and executes a Springboard Back elbow that sends Bill stumbling into the ropes and his arms get tied up between the middle and top rope.
Simone: Now the tide has turned
Adams: And don't think that Jack won't take advantage of the given situation.
Jack immediately starts to kick away at the ribs and midsection of Bill Barnhart as Dawn starts to use a five count in an attempt to stop Jack Washington.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Jack increases the speed of his kicks during the first four of the five counts of Dawn before backing off. Dawn tries to free one of Bills arms as Jack takes advantage of the situation and steps through the ropes and stands on the ring apron, hitting a superkick to the side of Bill's face as the impact of the blow somehow manages to free Bill as he falls down on the canvas with his face underneath the bottom rope.
Simone: Uh oh..., I don't like the look of this!!
Jack measures Bill before dropping a leg across the throat of Bill as the back of his neck comes in contact with the hardest part of the ring before automatically rolling over on his stomach and grabbing his throat with both hands while coughing out loud.
Adams: Bill may have broken his Adams Apple!!!
Jack rolls underneath the bottom ring back in the ring and rolls Bill over on his back and covers Bill.
ONE!
Jack jumps his feet on the middle rope for extra leverage as he notices that Dawn is concentrated upon the three count z
TWO!
THR....
But Dawn suddenly notices Bea screaming at her, pointing at the ropes and notices the illegal pin attempt and stops the count. Warning Jack as the champion shows a side of innocence and giving a reason of explanation how his feet has come on the ropes but clearly not on purpose. Dawn tells him to get into a neutral corner as she turns her attention to Bill, checking on him as he is still coughing from the leg drop earlier as well as he seems to be a bit di
y after the superkick that he had endured prior to the leg drop. Jack has enough of the break that Bill was getting and moves past Dawn and grabs Bill by the head for another offensive move, but Bill grabs his tights and pushes Jack towards the turnbuckles as Bill falls backwards. This causes Jack to hit face first into the middle turnbuckle and his neck snaps backwards as this stops the offense of Jack Washington.Adams: That's the veteran experience of Bill Barnhart that you cannot underestimate.
Simone: Indeed, this is something that Jack needs to work on. Bill is a world class athlete, just like Vinnie two weeks ago. You cannot do this to men like these, let alone if you face Goth in a few weeks!!
Bill gets to his feet and drives his knee into the back of Jack Washington, choking Jack into the turnbuckles as Dawn starts the five count again
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Bill stops the pressure on the neck of Jack Washington and follows it up with an elbow into the back of Jack's neck before pulling him in the middle of the ring and locks the Internet champion in a Camel Clutch submission hold
Simone: Will Jack submit?!!!
Dawn asks Jack if he wants to give in, but the champion refuses by shaking his hand no. Bill pulls harder on the chin and sinks in deeper down as the back of Jack gets pulled into an unnatural position that hurts even more. Bea on the outside is jumping up and down of joy, believing that that her man is going to take the title away from the current champion. But Jack refuses to give in as he suddenly manages to bite the fingers of Bill Barnhart, forcing him to let go off the hold as Dawn warns Jack to stop biting before Bill lets go. He gets to his feet and is enraged, wrapping both hands into a big time fist and sets himself up to whack Jack down with a double fist but the champion ducks the move and gets up right away. Spins Bill around before dropping him with a neckbreaker before rolling Bill over on his back for another cover
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
t manages to kick out at the final moment, Jack slowly gets to his feet as he holds on to his lower back as he shows pain on his face. Jack grabs the head of Bill wrapping his arm across his neck and sets him up for a Snap Suplex but his lower back gives out on him as the pressure that Bill had put in him was a bit too much. Jack blasts across the back of Bill before locking him back into a Snap Suplex and grinds his teeth and executes the move.
Simone: Good grief!!!!
Jack sits up, but doesn't go for the immediate pin as his face shows that he is in complete pain. After a few more moments he finally goes for the cover and hooks both legs.
ONE!
TWO!
THR....
Bill manages to get his shoulder off the canvas in time, shaking his head as he reaches for the ropes. Jack has enough and gets into the corner, seizing up Bill for another super kick as Bill slowly gets to his feet. Jack charges in on Bill with the super kick, but manages to catch the foot and spins Jack around before kicking Jack in the midsection and then locks him in a Piledriver in the middle of the ring.
Adams: What a counter!!
Bill covers Jack as he locks both legs
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
Now it is Jack that manages to get his shoulder off the canvas in time as we see Bill look up in utter shock, not believing that it wasn't a three count. He looks up at Dawn, giving her the signal of the three count in a question but Dawn shakes her head and tells him that it was just a count of two
Adams: That was a tough one for Bill, it was a near three count.
Simone: Bill cannot get frustrated now, he is so close!!
Bill shakes his head, grabs the head of Jack Washington and pulls the dizzy champion up to his feet as he locks him in his patented sleeperhold
Simone: Sweet Dreams!!!
Bill has got the hold locked in tight as we see Jack's leg quickly buckles under the pressure from the challenger. Dawn checks on Jack as if to see if he will pass out on the tight sleeper hold
Adams: I think Bill has him!!!!
Jack slowly reaches over to the bottom rope as his middle finger touches the bottom rope before he would seemingly fade out. Dawn gets up and tells Bill to let go off the hold, causing Bill to believe that he has won the match and starts to celebrate as Dawn tries to tell him that the match is still continuing.
Simone: Oh my goodness, I don't want to be Dawn right now when Bill realizes that there's not a finish!!!
Bill finally realizes what happened and charges in on Jack Washington who kips up somehow and catches Bill by the arm before dropping him down to the canvas using his own momentum against him. Jack quickly locks Bill in his patented finishing submission hold.
Adams: Brotherly Love!!!!
Bill tries to break free, but the hold is locked in too tight as he finally decides to tap out.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by submission and STILL Sin City Wrestling Internet Champion!!! Jack Washington!!!!
Jack's music hits as Dawn hands him the Internet championship as he quickly rolls out of the ring, he turns around towards the ring and lifts the title in the air to make an impact towards Bill Barnhart while walking backwards to the entrance way. When suddenly we hear Goth's music hits, causing Jack to turn around and stares at the entrance way where we see Goth emerge
Simone: Uh oh....
We see Goth in his Armani suit, applauding Jack Washington for his hard fought win as Jack lifts the title up in the air towards Goth. Both men stare each other down
Adams: I can't wait until these two will face for the belt!!!!!
Simone: What a night, ladies and gents, we'v come to an end, we'll see you all next week.
THANK YOU All, we couldn't do it without you.
